It enables precise and efficient production of complex parts and components. In CNC machines, the movement of the cutting tools is facilitated by rail systems, which guide the motion along a specific axis. Two common types of rail systems used in CNC machining are hard rail and linear rail.
Common right-angle grooves in precision CNC machining parts are open, closed and semi-closed. The end of the semi-closed groove has a vertical milling cutter arc (vertical arc) and a disc milling cutter arc ( Horizontal arc) two forms, the keyway on the shaft is a typical right-angle groove that connects the shaft and the sleeve with a flat key.
To correctly determine and measure the geometric angle of the milling cutter, two coordinate planes of the angle measurement datum are required, namely the base plane and the cutting plane.
As we all know, cemented carbide is an alloy material formed by combining refractory metal and metal through powder metallurgy. An alloy composed of one or more carbides and a cemented metal drill bit is often called a cemented carbide.
As the basis of modern mechanical manufacturing technology, CNC machining technology has undergone major changes in the manufacturing process of CNC machining parts. Compared with traditional numerical control processing technology, modern numerical control processing technology has obvious differences in processing process, process control, processing equipment, processing equipment and so on.
Turning and milling combined processing is currently one of the most popular processing technologies in the field of mechanical CNC processing. It is an advanced CNC machining and manufacturing technology. Turning and milling combined machining refers to the realization of multiple different CNC machining processes on one machine tool.
The difference between turning and milling: CNC turning processing rotating parts, the CNC machining parts are clamped on the machine spindle through three chucks, rotating at high speed, and then using a turning tool to cut the shape of the product according to the generatrix of the slewing body.
Geometrical dimensions and tolerances (GD&T) refers to the geometric shapes of precision CNC machined parts, which are interlocked and point to the shape, direction, position, contour and tolerance (as defined in Table 4).
